Agent of Silence

Stalking. She was. . . some one was stalking her. She was being stalked. Kagome was in a top secret agency with the highest amount of security possible . . . and she was being stalked!

There was no proof of course. Just this feeling that some one was watching her every move. For gosh sakes! She had been writing a poem in the library when she decided that she'd had enough of this obsessive person, so she'd left.

He/she was still following her! She could feel it. They were there when she stopped to tie her shoe. She could feel them lose sight of her for a minute when she rounded a corner.

She'd have to lose them.

"KOHAKU! There you are. I've been looking all over for you today! Why don't we go talk some where!" Kagome grabbed him by the shoulders. Thank god some one was around who could save her from her new . . . unwanted friend.

Kohaku was in a pretty much deserted hallway. Why, she didn't know. She had been there to lose the stalker. Well not really lose him; maybe just confront him without people around. She didn't want to drag him to a populated area. Then people might notice. That's not what she wanted.

"Okay, whatever you say Kagome," Kohaku said agreeably. He didn't really know where he was, so anywhere with Kagome, no matter how strange she was acting, was a good place.

Kohaku turned to around to go the other direction, where Kagome had come from, now seeing that that was the way out of here, when Kagome spun him around sharply. "Not that way, Kohaku," Kagome said through clenched teeth.

She didn't know why, but for some reason, now she didn't want to face her stalker. It kind of creeped her out that he had followed her this far. Now that Kohaku was here, she didn't want him getting mixed up in it too.

'Kagome, you're probably blowing this way out of proportion! You're in the agency right now! It's probably some freak admirer or something. It's not like it's going to be anybody dangerous! Snap out of it!!!'

'1- 2- 3'

Kagome whipped around, bringing Kohaku with her.

No one was there!

Inuyasha stopped for a moment when he noticed his prey enter the y-wing. What the heck was she going in there for! Gods this girl was odd!

She hadn't turned around once since he had been following her. He had practically memorized the clothes that she was wearing and the curve of her backside. He didn't know why he didn't drop her. What was the reason he was following her?

Because she sparked his interest, that's why. He wanted to know who she was to the agency.

Not that he cared or anything.

It didn't really matter to him. 'So why are you still following her? You know you want to find out.'

He hated it when he was right with himself. Kikyou always told him that he had a good conscience.

She . . .

Kikyou.

Kikyou.

Inuyasha turned . . . and fled.

"Kagome, are you sure that you're feeling alright?" Kohaku had been badgering her since they returned to the commons. "Kohaku, there is nothing wrong with me! I'm telling you, somebody was there!!!!" Kagome said exasperatedly.

Why wouldn't he believe her!

"Alright, alright! I get it. I won't bug you anymore . . . I just think maybe you should go see the docto-"

Kohaku saw stars.

~ * ~

"Kagome!? Kagome!? Kagome!" Kagome sighed and turned around. She couldn't just ignore him.

She needed to get her mind off of other . . . matters anyway.

"Hey Kouga! How are you. I haven't been able to see you in a while!" Kagome smiled up at him. He was at least a couple inches taller than she was. Kouga smiled back.

"Do you want to eat lunch with me? We could go out or something," He asked, looking so hopeful. Kagome didn't want to crush that hope.

"Kagome, there you are!"

But duty calls.

Miroku rushed up to her, grabbing her hand. "Sango wants to talk to you," Miroku said. Something in his voice put a spark in her eyes. Kagome turned to Kouga. "Look, Kouga. I have-"

"It's okay, I get it. Maybe some other time, baby. Come find me sometime, okay?" Kouga lifted her hand and brushed his lips softly against it.

Kagome blushed softly. She hated that affect. She smiled at him somewhat shyly before nodding her head.

Miroku grabbed her by the arm and dragged her away.

It's a good thing Kouga didn't know what Kagome was about to find out. There would be hell to pay when he found out.

Miroku could only smirk.

~ * ~ ( I thought about stopping it here . . . but)

Sango was pacing the room when Miroku brought Kagome in. She didn't know why she was so nervous.

'Sure you do. She's gonna kill you!'

"Kagome!" Sango said her name and stopped pacing. She couldn't get her feet to move forward.

Miroku silently understood and left Kagome's side for Sango's.

He wrapped his arms around her from behind, a soothing comfort, support. Miroku supported her here.

'Gods, this shouldn't be so hard!!!'

"I think what darling Sango here is trying to say is-"

"OH MY GOSH! Are you two getting married?!" Kagome screamed.

Sango and Miroku jumped apart, both blushing like crazy.

"NO! NO! What made you think that?!" Sango sputtered, trying to get control over her emotions.

"Only the fact that Miroku dragged me here, saying you wanted to tell me something. Then when I get in here you can't talk straight, so he goes over there and wraps his arms around you- good going Sango- and then he tries to say whatever it is that is so hard to say, for you!

How could I not jump to that conclusion!" Kagome pointed an accusing finger at the both of them- who were standing 3 meters apart- while on her rampage of reasons.

Miroku was the first to recover, of course. "Well if Sango would only-"

"Don't even think about it Miroku!" Sango said his name in her most threatening voice, venom spilling from her lips.

"Right darling, of course," Miroku managed, cowering away from her raised hand.

"Alright you two! Give it a rest! Do I need to put you in separate corners?" Kagome got in between them, holding her hands out.

Miroku made the 'peace' sign with his fingers and Sango took a step back.

"Okay, if the word marriage is not involved, what is going on?" Kagome remembered the topic and her anticipation started to build up.

"Oh well, Sango talking to you was only an excuse. Keade is the one who needs to talk to you," Miroku stated matter-of-factly. "Why didn't you just say that?" Kagome asked. "Kouga would have been too interested, asked questions. That's the way he is," Miroku said smartly.

"Don't sound too obsessed," Sango muttered.

Kagome giggled and followed her friends out of the room.

~ * ~

"Ah, Kagome. There ye are," Keade looked up from some paper work.

"Yes, here I am," Kagome looked around excitedly. She only saw Keade when she was getting a new mission.

"So what is it this time? Is it something big?" Kagome's eyes lit up slightly.

"Aye, it is . . . big," Keade agreed slowly. Kagome could see Miroku and Sango shifting uncomfortably in the background. Was she missing something?

"What is it? What's going on?" Kagome looked at the three of them accusingly. They knew something. Obviously that was why she was here.

"You're to be assigned a . . . partner," Keade said sternly, readying herself for what was to come next.

"WHAT!" Kagome screamed! Her hands clenched into fists at her sides. No! This wasn't happening!

"I don't do partners Kaede, you know that! Please just rethink this a little. I'm an independent person, you know, I do things on my own. Come on!" Kagome tried desperately to get Kaede to reconsider the situation.

"Ah but, Kagome, for this mission you will need a partner," Kaede knew that that would get her off track.

"You mean I'm getting a new mission!!!" Kagome did her victory dance, making Sango and Miroku look away at the shame of knowing her.

"Okay, now let's back track. I only have to have a partner for this mission. So after this it's all over. I can go back to being . . . just me?" Kagome looked a little skeptical. She could sense the uneasiness in Kaede's voice. There must be a catch.

"What's the catch," Kagome spoke her thoughts aloud.

Sango and Miroku shifted some more, which made Kagome glare at them.

"Get ye butt out here," Kaede said, knowing that who she was talking to would know that she was talking to them. ( ^_^ )

Kagome's head snapped up. Who was it?! Please, don't let it be Kouga.

. . . no

Inuyasha's head snapped up when he heard a gasp.

No!

A/N Okay so I thought that was a good place to stop it. If you couldn't figure it out in the first chapter, They don't really like each other. Inuyasha likes to tease her and play around with her, to see how far he can get her to go. Kagome doesn't like to play his game.

So they're not on the best of terms.

I hope everyone is enjoying this and likes the direction it's heading in. I want your opinions on this matter.

Sometimes I don't think I add enough information in the chapter. Like it's just going from one thing to the next, with nothing tying them together. Tell me if this is so.

In case anyone was wondering. The poem last chapter was one that I made up and I intend on adding more of them in here, so I hope you guys don't mind.

Help me out here guys, and review!!!! :)
